First off. I love this sub. Every manager/boss should join this subreddit.
I'm currently budgeted to bring on a couple employees, but the salary may be slightly below market value. Budget is 75-78k and people are asking 80-85k. Which is fine they're asking that amount.
The question is… What do you think is an appropriate sign on bonus to sway you to join?
Ultimately I just want to do what's right's for the team, including the newest members.
